MSandt Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 The song has nice instrumentation but someone else should sing it. It's not just that the quality of Tom's voice is bad but the pretentious way he delivers it makes it unbearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my favorite part, but I’m happy to finally have a vocal intro that’s separate from the rest of the song after years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSandt Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Tom's "range" these days seems to be limited to low, kinda monotonic bits like the first verses of EISF and Tunnels. Anything else he tries he ends up butchering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not surprised that the blink haters and tombots are lapping it up. Some of you even claimed to love Rebel Girl, which was far worse than this one. Tombots are quite loyal, it's their only redeemable quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So put that together with the pretentious delivery and it's enough to ruin a song that may have had some potential at one point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Really love these lyrics: "My hearts a little bit tired, And expired, Just a coward in lift-off It’s got a little bit risky To be happy Toe the edge til we fall off I’m living the worst way ever Gettin’ high while playin’ with fire so- If I’m gonna go try this Satisfy this watch the bomb I made go off" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ182 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 This is sad, Ghent is starting to sound like Trump just as much as Oliver does. Everything's a conspiracy, I'm the only one who is being truthful, everyone else is a troll, the thing that people claim to like is actually garbage, always deflect never give an inch blah blah blah. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm offering no conspiracy here. The song just isn't very good. Despite having some energy and some decent guitar at parts, it still manages to be boring as fuck. Gets worse on subsequent listens. Might actually prefer Rebel Girl because at least it is slightly catchy in its shittiness. Plus he had to have a producer help him write it.
